I'm friends with the man considered to be the father of tentacle porn, Toshio Maeda. We spoke about this when he was last in the US this September. He asked me who I thought would win the election, and I said that it would be Trump. The answer surprised him, so I explained that even though the news seems to focus on video of Hillary supporters, it's not showing you small town America, whose populace all lost their jobs because the one large manufacturer in town that employed everyone decided to move their production to Mexico or China. The anger and resentment at globalization, at knowing your children will never financially fare as well as you, at seein them struggle to pay off their college loans because the only job they can get is at a store working for minimum wage, is what will drive this vote. Maeda told me that he thought this would be a good thing because Obama turned out to be a weak president, and he is perceived very much as this abroad. Even though Trump may be brash, internationally, he is perceived as being a far more dominant player than Obama.

I do now, but I would have probably seen it sooner if it had been reported (if in fact it was reported, and cleared without action, then let me know and I'll try to find out why).

JRPGNATION, please do not post just to mock a thread's creation. If you feel the thread violates rules, report it.

DeadlyOats, if someone starts off this way, especially if it leads to more of the same from others, please report it instead of responding to it. you just increased the number of posts being part of the off-topic problem.

For now I'm not deleting anything since doing so would be even more disruptive to the thread and it seems to have stopped without further intervention anyway.

Such distinguished company you keep!

I'll bet he was even more surprised when he saw your prediction come true. I think A LOT OF PEOPLE were surprised that Trump won. The supporters for both candidates were all in a state of surprise. Some, pleasantly, and some horribly. You can blame the media for their uneven reporting of facts, for that.

'That Japanese Man, Yuta,' (the one who'd done the video in this thread) had done a 'man in the street' video, a couple of weeks back, asking who they thought would win. I think they all picked Hillary to win. So, I'm thinking the same uneven news reporting was perpetrated globally. The stunned silence, of world leaders was proof of their shocked surprise. Usually, they call right away, to congratulate the winner. However, this time it was a few hours before anyone started to call, to congratulate Trump.
